U R Special {Friends with Flair Friday}

No, really. You are. Just say'n.

Now, I don't know about you, but I keep seeing people talk about how they are ready for fall weather... and I just have one thing to say about that. I'M NOT!!! I love summer and I want it to last as long as it is willing. We tend to get short summers here in Mass, so I am enjoying the pleasant August weather! So, I decided to stick with Summer for my card today! Are you all cool with that? K. Good. (Yes, I'm assuming you all said yes, because I can't imagine that ANYONE would ever possibly disagree with me, as I am always right on these matters. Just say'n. HA!)

I started out with several sheets of Echo Park papers from the Summer Days collection. These are just too fun! The stamps are Samantha Walker's Sweet Life stamp set for Unity. I stamped them on the Echo Park paper with Momento inks and added chalk details for a bit of dimension. Oh...and sprinkles, of course. 'Cause ya GOTTA have sprinkles! Just say'n.

The giant fabulous pink and white ribbon is from May Arts and I {heart} it big time. For reals. I added a simple sentiment sticker from Cosmo Cricket. (Tip of the Day: If you want to add a sticker and give it dimension, use a soft bristled paint brush to brush the sticky back with cornstarch. This will eliminate the stick and allow you to use foam adhesive to adhere your accent. One of my favorite tricks!)

So, there you have it...my piece of extended summer! So far, so good. Today and tomorrow are expected to be beautiful low 80's kinda days - *sigh* - love it! Let's hold on to summer a long as we can...changes come around real soon and then we're .... (Oh...wait...I think that's sixteen that he was holding on to, oh, well. I prefer summer to sixteen. Just say'n. HA!)

That is so adorable! I love, love, love that paper line. I'm not ready for fall, but after 3 solid months of 90+ degree temps, I'm ready for a couple months of 70 degree weather. A cool off would be so refreshing! But the sunshine needs to stick around! :)

Super cut card. LOL, summer is not my favorite, too HOT. Im more of a fall and spring gal. LOL..............im glad that our weather has cooled down to the 70's and and low 80's. lovin the cooler weather at night with the windows open instead of all the windows closed and the air conditioner racking up my electricty bill!

SWEET!!! Literally...it is. (seeing how it is ice cream hehe) Ok couldn't resist that one..sorry. I really love all the "color" to this card. So cheery and happy. As far as the summer...well..since ours has been mostly triple digits here, I'm ready for some cooler weather. ^_^

I'm a for-real kinda gal, so I admit I HATE Summer. But I LOVE your happy card! Jen, if ever you design your own line of cards, I truly think they should be called HAPPY CARDS because yours always make me smile! SO DO YOU! Big hugs!

Ok, this is just adorable and fun and yes screams summer! I agree with you 100% I just moved from Hawaii where it's summer all year and I LOVE THAT! I don't need four seasons I just need warm and sunny! I am not looking forward to winters! Eek!
